In a remarkable pre-market trading session on Friday, the T-Rex 2X Long MSTR Daily Target ETF (MSTU) soared 12.42%, driven by the exceptional performance of its underlying holding, MicroStrategy Inc. (MSTR), and the company's massive Bitcoin holdings.
MicroStrategy, a leading corporate investor in Bitcoin, has witnessed a staggering 674% rally in its share price year-to-date, fueled by its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy and the cryptocurrency's record-breaking run in 2024. As MicroStrategy continues to reap the benefits of its Bitcoin bet, the ripple effects have amplified gains for ETFs with significant exposure to the company.
MSTU, a leveraged ETF designed to deliver twice the daily returns of MicroStrategy's stock, has capitalized on this phenomenon. With a 90.14% weighting in MSTR, MSTU's year-to-date performance has skyrocketed to 746%, amplifying the gains from MicroStrategy's Bitcoin-driven surge through its leveraged structure. However, maintaining this high-octane ETF has become increasingly challenging, as prime brokers reach their risk limits on the volatile MicroStrategy swap exposure.
